Watch Live Cricket Streaming World Cup 2015 from Anywhere

It’s been four years since MS Dhoni of India lifted the World Cup at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on 02nd April, 2011. It feels like it was only yesterday when the Indian team was carrying the great Sachin Tendulkar on their shoulders after their tremendous victory over Sri Lanka in the final.

Even though the memories of World Cup 2011 are still fresh as a cucumber in our minds, nobody can deny the fact that a lot has changed in the past 4 years. India has been absolutely dreadful in their overseas tours for the last four years.

Half their champion side and their key players have been dropped from the Cricket World Cup 2015 squad. It will be interesting to see what MS Dhoni comes up with this time to defend the prestigious title.

World Cup TV Coverage in Canada

Fans across North America have been befuddled due to lack of TV coverage and geo-restrictions on streaming Cricket World Cup 2015 in Canada. Only a single TV channel (SportsNet) is reportedly covering all the matches of 2015 World Cup in Canada and is charging its viewers with a minimum fee of US $145 for 49 matches.

And if you wish to watch the semi-finals and the final, you will have to pay more subscription fee. Such expensive subscriptions and geo-restrictions on World Cup streaming in Canada have resulted in people turning towards VPN services to get access to all the live matches for free (or at cheaper rates).

Teams & Players to watch out in the Cricket World Cup 2015

After the much criticized formats of Cricket World Cup 2003 and 2007, ICC decided to make the tournament more competitive by reverting to the format of 1996. World Cup 2011 was played with the same format and the same will be followed in the Cricket World Cup 2015.

So in our honest opinion, nobody is clear favorites for the tournament. It is about finding the momentum at the right time. Fans from different regions will tune in to watch live cricket matches on their TV screens and some will turn to watch online, so naming one favorite team would be a great injustice to many of the viewers.

Australia – Michael Clarke

Many eyes are already glued to Captain Clarke right now. He has been struggling with the fitness issues for past three months. The World Cup 2015 will be a great test of character for Clarke, who will be making a comeback after missing the whole summer season at home against the defending champions India.

Even though Australia is one of the favorites to win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, a lot will depend upon how Michael Clarke will lead his men from the front and how much say will his injury have in the tournament.

India – Virat Kohli

If there is any player in the world who can score runs at will, it is Virat Kohli. His critiques call him a spoilt-brat and rightly so because of his aggressive approach towards the game and the opposition. Kohli is only 26 years old and people have already compared him with the likes of Tendulkar, Lara and Bradman.

If India is to defend its title at the Cricket World Cup 2015, Kohli has to maintain his beast-mode form in the tournament. It is fair to say that the fate of one billion Indian fans will rest on the young shoulders of Virat Kohli.

Pakistan – Shahid Afridi

It’s been twenty three years since Pakistan won its only World Cup, played in Australia and New Zealand. A generation in between has passed by without winning any major tournament in the 50-over format in the last two decades.

If Pakistan is to win this tournament, Shahid Afridi will have to click with the bat and ball. He has been under so much pressure lately because of his poor form with bat and mediocre performances with the ball. He’s fully capable of snatching the victory from the jaws of defeat. Mind you, Afridi has already announced his retirement after the Cricket World Cup 2015.

South Africa – AB De Villiers

If there is any batsman who has the ability to rip apart any bowling line up on his given day, it is AB De Villiers. After his record breaking innings against the West Indies, millions are expected to watch live cricket online even if they aren’t SA fans.

Such is his dominance in the game. South Africa has never won the ICC Cricket World Cup, and for a team like South Africa it is an embarrassment in itself. With an in-form De Villiers with the support of Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn, South Africa is the favorite team to turn things around this time.

England – Eoin Morgan

It is such a shame that England’s best batsman (Kevin Peitersen) in the history will not feature in the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. All eyes will be on Captain Morgan who is comparatively a younger captain than all his counterparts among the top 8 cricket playing nations.

Morgan has a tendency to score some quick runs in the middle overs and rotates the strike at a good pace to keep the things going. The last tri-series has been a good one for England, where they faltered in the finals against the Aussies, Morgan XI will look to not to repeat the same mistakes when they face Australia again on February 14th.

New Zealand – Brendon McCullum

Much like South Africa and England, New Zealand has never won the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Their overall ODI record isn’t as bad though, they are a very competitive ODI side and have the ability to beat any opposition.

Last year has been a very fruitful one for McCullum and he has enjoyed scoring runs against all the oppositions. McCullum will be captaining New Zealand in the Cricket World Cup 2015 and New Zealand will definitely enjoy the home advantage against their opponents. New Zealand’s current form suggests they are the dark horses of this tournament.

Sri Lanka – Kumar Sangakkara

The World Cup winners of 1996 have one of the bestteam combinations this World Cup. Sri Lanka has a very balanced squad with an experienced batting line up with an average bowling line up. Sri Lanka has been the runners up for last two consecutive World Cups and this time they will be looking to go one step further to reclaim the glory.

Sri Lanka will have the services of experienced batsmen like Mahela Jayawardene, Dilshan and Sangakkara all of whom will be playing their last ICC Cricket World Cup. Sri Lankan fans would want more from Sangakkara and will have more faith in him than their Captain Angelo Matthews.

West Indies – Chris Gayle

The West Indies have the weakest squads of all the top 8 playing nations. Pollard, Bravo and Narine have been dropped and their team is in disarray. Yet many might live stream their cricket matches due to the presence of Chris Gayle in their squad.

Good news for them, Gayle might hit a few blistering half-centuries. Bad news, it is a 50-over format, not suitable for him. Will Gayle transform himself to a complete batsman by playing more mature innings? Only time will tell.
